Bleed Out

What do you guys think of it?

Enf and a couple of my friends just tried it on The Passing... it's easy to forget that people are losing health all time

We played on normal. I didn't really see a difference in the challenge, but thats also because we got an assload of pills from the caches. Bigger map + less pills = lots of pressure to conserve, which I like

Yeah it was funny because we were on the last level of The Passing and 9Ball is standing over there listening to the back and forth dialogue, while Im standing on the lift telling him to come over. "Wait I havent heard this one before" We're losing health standing here... "Oh yeah I forgot." haha

Decent mutation. Having that pill cache every now and then helped to load up on pills and take one for the road. I can see it being harder on a 5 lvl campaign without those caches.

How much faster is the bleeding? Like twice as fast?

just as fast.

I'd say that all they did for spawn rates was switch out all the medkit spawns with pill spawns

The hoards never stopped though. It made it a bit harder by the end of the map when youre crawling to get to safety and a CI breathes on you, youre down.

Seems like an interesting vs play... maybe just add in some more pills and call it good.

It's too difficult for the survivors for vs. The only reason my group survived was because we were playing on normal difficulty and the SI bots were still playing stupid.

The constant CIs really wear you down if you can't move fast; so its a negative reinforcement loop. We also didn't find pills that often, and only once did we find a crate of pills (and once a crate of adrenaline), the rest of the time it was pipes or mollys.

So I really like the mode as something different, but it's a bit trivial to take down the survivors.

Yeah, but it's just kinda "meh" when the mutation is campaign-only. I mean, I like Expert, it's fun... but once you've done it the first time, it gets kinda boring :/
